Manchester City

Brighton start their first ever premier league campaign in daunting fashion as they host Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. Brighton will struggle the most out of the promoted teams and manager Chris Houghton is a favourite to be the first to go down despite not having the strongest team. The pressure will be on Guardiola this season as he has invested heavily in the squad this summer. The Spaniard has brought in the likes of Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy to help him win his maiden trophy as a Manchester City manager. His plan for the season is to blow every other team away with his hugely attacking City side. He will face bigger tests throughout the season with this strategy but City will simply overwhelm Brighton in the first game of the season. At least 2 goals to be scored by the Citizens.
